Big dreams are taking shape in our community!
Today's Grosse Pointe News features an article about the Grosse Pointe Robotics & Innovation Center (GPRIC) and our vision to create a permanent home for robotics, innovation, workforce development, and hands-on STEM learning for students across our region.

Students are already designing, building, programming, and solving real-world challenges. Imagine what they could accomplish with a dedicated space where they can learn, create, collaborate, and prepare for future careers in engineering, technology, manufacturing, and business. This also allows us to expand innovative offerings to more students.

Here's the best part: you can help.
You don't have to make a large donation to make a difference. If everyone who believes in investing in our kids gave just a small amount, we could bring this incredible opportunity to life.
Every donation helps us move one step closer to creating a permanent home where future innovators, leaders, and problem-solvers can thrive.

Together, we're building more than a robotics center. We're building opportunities, confidence, skills, and the future of our community.

BIG NEWS!

Today we launched the Grosse Pointe Robotics & Innovation Center (GPRIC) fundraising campaign.

For years, we've built robots in classrooms, hallways, garages, cafeterias, basements, and borrowed spaces.
We've learned, competed, solved problems, and grown as students and teammates, but we've always wished for a place of our own.

We're working to help create a permanent home for robotics, innovation, and student opportunity in the Grosse Pointes.

Imagine what students could accomplish with:
• Dedicated build space
• Practice fields
• Secure storage
• Engineering and programming resources
• Opportunities for even more students to participate

We believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn, build, innovate, and succeed.

If robotics has made a difference in your life, your family's life, or our community, we'd love your support.

• Donate if you can
• Share this post
• Tell your friends and family
• Help us spread the word

Every share helps.
Every donation matters.

Every student deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The robot is the tool. The student is the outcome.

🤖 What a night on Kercheval! 💜
Last night, after 6 on Kercheval, we truly lived out our mission:
"Our all-girls robotics team is dedicated to fostering a supportive and empowering environment where diversity, sisterhood, and creativity thrive. We aim to challenge stereotypes, embrace leadership opportunities, and inspire everyone to explore the limitless possibilities of robotics, teamwork, and innovation."

We brought both our tank drive robot and our swerve drive robot and gave hundreds of kids (and quite a few adults!) the chance to learn the difference, operate them, and even play catch with the robots. The smiles, laughter, excitement, and curiosity were incredible. Watching young people discover what is possible through STEM is exactly why we do this!

One of the highlights of the evening was the opportunity to spend time with Senator Kevin Hertel and personally thank him for helping secure a grant that is supporting the opening of the Southeast Michigan Robotics & Innovation Center (SEMRIC). His investment in students, STEM education, and workforce development is helping us create new opportunities for young people across Southeast Michigan as we work to establish a permanent home for robotics and innovation.

We were also joined by our amazing middle school FTC Team 17975 Botmasterz, proving once again that robotics creates a powerful pipeline of future innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.

Another special moment was recognizing our founding sponsor, Aauwgp Branch Grosse Pointe MI Branch of AAUW, for their 10 years of unwavering support. As we celebrate our own 10th anniversary, we were honored to present them with a commemorative banner and team photo as a small token of our gratitude. Their belief in our girls and our mission has helped make a decade of impact possible, and they absolutely loved the surprise.

And yes... we couldn't help but enjoy being set up directly across from the mechanical bull! 😂

With thousands of people attending, we met so many new families, students, community leaders, and supporters. We shared our passion for robotics, challenged stereotypes about who belongs in STEM, and gave countless people a chance to experience robotics firsthand.

Most importantly, we showed what happens when girls are empowered to lead, innovate, build, teach, and inspire.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, drove a robot, tossed a game piece, asked questions, or cheered our students on. Events like this remind us that the robot is just the tool. The real outcome is confident young people who are discovering their potential and realizing they can make an impact on the world.

Here's to the next 10 years of inspiring, empowering, and building the future. 🚀
